The Chancery office directly assists The Bishop of East Anglia in the pastoral and administrative governance of the Diocese of East Anglia. The Chancery, on behalf of the bishop, expedites canonical matters; collects and preserves diocesan and parish records; assists parishes and priests with civil matters; maintains files on priests and parishes; collects statistical information for the Diocese; facilitates communications with other dioceses and the Vatican; handles requests for papal blessings and tickets for papal audiences; provides information on the Church or directs inquirers to appropriate sources; and oversees diocesan offices.

"The Duke of Norfolk's archives form one of the largest private collections in the country. Those kept at the Castle include all the family papers and the southern estate papers (Norfolk, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex and London). The northern estate papers, except title deeds, are on loan-deposit at Sheffield Record Office and Hull University Library. The collections at Arundel comprise documents from the 12th century to the 20th century."

There are many documented connections by the Duke's family with the locale of what is now the RC Diocese of East Anglia and the Diocese of Northampton.
